Surviving a toxic household

I’ve been quiet on here for the past few days because things have been rough. I won’t go into too much detail but…yeah 🙄

Sending love to anyone going through the same thing 💜

What’s everyone’s favourite way to switch off? Mines building cliffs in animal crossing then knocking them down

I am on holiday in Sicily, and instead of enjoying myself, I keep getting panic attack after panic attack and I wake up with palpitations and feeling I can’t breathe.

My toxic household is my brother. He is thousands of miles away across the Atlantic, but the power he has over me is unbelievable. And the people around him who think I should just move back in with him and look after him for the rest of his life, despite me having 2 underage children at home and a job.

Been trying to breathe more easily and tomorrow will have a chilled day by the pool with my phone off.

Grab an iced coffee, for a walk in the sunshine, sit in the park and feed the squirrels.

Mine was to put headphones on and go for a walk with classical music, it's very soothing. By the time you get back, you will have a perspective that this home is just temporary.

People are always very quick to offer up other people's lives, efforts and time.

Let those others step up.

Turning off your phone or muting chats seems like a really healthy choice for you x

I like to do a physical task/job about the house or anywhere really. Something that takes a bit of focus. Even if it's just folding towels.

Anything that lets me distract my brain from thinking and just DO random stuff.

I've been in a highly toxic household for the last few years, always with the hope that I'd be heard and it would improve.

It didn't, so I walked and it's the best thing I ever did.

Staying deliberately single now and can't see that changing in the forseeable

Sorry to hear you’ve been having a tough time ……. My solution was to walk out and not look back ……. It brought its own problems and I tend to take myself off somewhere far away from civilisation whenever I can. Injury has made that difficult this year, but I do take my “kitchen” everywhere so I can just stop whatever I am doing, sit down, turn off the phone and have five minutes just enjoying the moment and switching off from the world for a bit.

Big love OP

There is only one in my household, so if there is anything toxic it is only me I have to blame for it, I just give myself a good dressing down and that usually sorts it
